Where should vehicle markings be placed?

The correct placement of vehicle markings, as indicated, is on each side of the bumpers and on the hood top. This positioning enhances visibility and recognition from multiple angles, which is crucial for safety and operational effectiveness in an amphibious operation environment. Markings on the bumpers allow for identification from the front and rear, while hood top markings ensure visibility from a distance as well as from overhead views, making it easier for personnel to identify the vehicle quickly.

This strategic placement supports mission coordination and helps prevent friendly fire incidents during operations, as visibility from various standpoints is essential in a dynamic field environment. Marking the vehicle in such a comprehensive manner aligns with standard procedures to ensure units can be easily recognized and accounted for in fast-paced situations.
